Historical Information

The B-17F Flying Fortress was primarily used by the USAAF Eighth Air Force for daylight strategic bombing of German industrial and military targets in Europe from 1943 to 1945. While most famously operated from England over Nazi-occupied Europe, B-17s also served in the Pacific Theater, and in Mediterranean campaigns. The B-17F was designed to be a high-altitude, long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament to withstand combat without fighter escort, which was crucial before the arrival of long-range escort fighters in late 1943.
